4.2 For purposes of Section 4.1, the election period during which Incentive Compensation may be subject to an effective deferral election shall be determined as follows:

(a)    To the extent that the Incentive Compensation is “performance-based compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(4)(B)(iii) of the Code) that is based on services performed over a period of at least 12 months, the election period shall end no later than six (6) months before the end of the performance period.

No additional amounts of Incentive Compensation that is deferred under the terms of this Plan shall be credited to a Legacy Account Balance.

(b)    Deferred Incentive Compensation that is earned or vested on or after January 1, 2005 shall be credited to the Participant’s Active Account Balance. This shall include the deferral under this Plan of Incentive Compensation attributable to 2004 that was subject to discretionary adjustment and first available for payment subsequent to December 31, 2004.

4.5    The Termination (or any subsequent re-employment) of a Participant after such Participant has submitted an election to defer any Incentive Compensation shall not affect the terms of such election with respect to the Incentive Compensation to which such election relates, subject, however, to the provisions for the distribution of any such deferred Incentive Compensation pursuant to the provisions of Article VI.

5.1 (a)    Except to the extent specified otherwise in (b), amounts credited to the Participant’s Account (without regard to whether such Account is allocated to such Participant’s Legacy Account Balance or Active Account Balance) shall be further credited with earnings as if invested in the Funds selected by the Participant. The Participant may change the selected Funds by providing notification in accordance with the Plan’s procedures. Any change in the Funds selected by the Participant shall be implemented in accordance with the Plan’s procedures.

(b)    For the period from January 1 until June 30 (or such earlier date distributed pursuant to Article 6) immediately following the end of the performance period defined in the Performance Share Award Agreement (the “Holding Period”), amounts attributable to the Participant’s voluntary deferral under the terms of this Plan of such performance shares that become earned and vested effective on or after December 31, 2019, shall be tracked as Stock Units initially equal to the number of deferred performance shares (after reduction for applicable withholding pursuant to the Performance Share Award Agreement). During the Holding Period, the amount tracked as Stock Units shall be credited with additional Stock Units determined by reference to dividends paid on Shares, with the number of additional Stock Units due to dividends calculated as the value of the dividend for a number of Stock Units equal to the number of Stock Units credited to the Participant’s Account on the dividend record date divided by the closing price of Shares on the dividend payment date. The Participant may not elect to transfer Stock Units to any of the Funds at any time during the Holding Period. As of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 30 of the Holding Period, all Stock Units then credited to the Participant’s Account shall be credited to the AEP Stock Fund under the Plan, using the value of such Stock Units as of the close of the last trading day in the Holding Period.

5.2 Except as otherwise specified in this Plan (for example, per Section 5.1(b), Stock Units may not be transferred), a Participant may elect to transfer all or a portion of the amounts credited to his Account from any Fund or Funds to any other Fund or Funds by providing notification in accordance with the Plan’s procedures. Such transfers between Funds may be made in any whole percentage or dollar amounts and shall be implemented in accordance with the Plan’s procedures.

5.3 The amount credited to each Participant's Account shall be determined daily based upon the fair market value of the Stock Units, Fund or Funds to which that Account is allocated. The fair market value calculation for a Participant's Account shall be made after all deferrals, distributions, Investment Income and transfers for the day are recorded. A Participant’s Account, as adjusted from time to time, shall continue to be credited with Investment Income until the balance of the Account is zero and the Committee anticipates no additional contributions from such Participant.

    

5.4 The Plan is an unfunded non-qualified deferred compensation plan and therefore the deferrals credited to a Participant's Account and the investment of those deferrals in Stock Units and Fund or Funds are memo accounts that represent general, unsecured liabilities of the Company payable exclusively out of the general assets of the Company. In the event that the Company becomes insolvent, the Participants shall be considered as general unsecured creditors of the Company. A Participant’s rights to benefits under this Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge encumbrance, attachment or garnishment by creditors of any Participant or any beneficiary.

6.1 Upon a Participant’s Termination for any reason, the Company shall cause the Participant or the Former Participant to be paid the full amount credited to his or her Account in accordance with the following rules:

(a)    Legacy Account Balance. With regard to the Participant’s Legacy Account Balance

Officer’s Retirement) or (2) the first, second, third, fourth or fifth anniversary of the Participant’s Retirement, as selected by the Participant.

Each Participant shall be provided the opportunity to select the form of distribution [as set forth in paragraph (A)] and benefit commencement date [as set forth in paragraph (B)] with regard to the amounts that are credited to the Participant's Legacy Account Balance when the Participant first elects to participate in the Plan. The Participant may amend his or her distribution election with regard to amounts that are credited to the Participant's Legacy Account Balance at any time prior to the date that is at least twelve (12) months prior to the Participant's Retirement by submitting a distribution election form in accordance with the Plan’s procedures; provided that a modification to the Participant’s distribution election with regard to amounts that are credited to the Participant's Legacy Account Balance submitted after such 12 month period will be effective if submitted no later than June 30, 2005, but only if the Participant remains employed for at least ninety (90) days following the submission of such distribution election. If the Participant has not submitted an effective distribution election with regard to amounts that are credited to the Participant's Legacy Account Balance at the time of his Retirement, the distribution of the amounts that are credited to the Participant's Legacy Account Balance shall be in the form of a single lump sum payment made within 60 days after the Participant's Retirement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, distribution to a Participant who was an Executive Officer at the time of his Retirement, but who has not submitted an effective distribution election with regard to amounts that are credited to the Participant's Legacy Account Balance at the time of his Retirement, shall be in the form of a single lump sum payment within 60 days after December 31 of the calendar year of the Participant’s Retirement.

Eligible Employee with respect to the deferral election periods that apply to such Participant during the three year period that begins as of the date the amount is paid to such Participant under this Section, and such Participant shall not be entitled to request any additional withdrawals under this paragraph prior to the Participant’s termination of employment. Any effective deferral elections that have already been submitted by such participant in accordance with Article IV shall be given full force and effect.

(b)    Active Account Balance. With regard to the Participant’s Active Account Balance the following rules shall apply:

    

initial deferral election [(B)(i)] nor during the 2005 or 2006 Distribution Election Period [(B)(ii) & (B)(iii)], the newly selected option must result in the further deferral of the first scheduled payment from the Participant’s Active Account balance by at least 5 years. For purposes of compliance with the rule set forth in Section 409A(a) of the Code (and the regulations issued thereunder), each distribution option described in Section 6.1(b)(1) shall be treated as a single payment as of the first scheduled payment date. The requirement included in the prior plan document that the newly elected option not result in the acceleration of any scheduled payment under the replaced option shall be disregarded.

within a reasonable time (generally the next business day) after such Stock Units are converted as described in this section. Participants remain subject to all applicable legal and regulatory restrictions with respect to the resulting shares, such as insider trading restrictions and black-out periods.

Installment distributions that apply to both Stock Units and a Fund or Funds shall be calculated independently so that each component and the total distribution shall reflect the Participant’s distribution election. For example, installment payments over 5 years would result in a distribution of one-fifth (20%) of a Participant’s Stock Units, one-fifth (20%) of their balance in a Fund or Funds.

6.2    (a)    For purposes of this Article, the amount to be distributed to a Participant or Former Participant shall be based upon the value of such individual’s Legacy Account Balance or Active Account Balance (as applicable) determined as of the applicable distribution date (or, if that is not a business day, then as of the immediately preceding business day) and shall be paid to such individual as soon as administratively practicable thereafter.

(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article,

earliest date at which the Committee reasonably anticipates that the making of such payment will not cause such violation.

6.3 If an annual distribution is selected, the amount to be distributed in any one-year shall be determined by dividing the Participant’s Legacy Account Balance or Active Account Balance (as appropriate) on the applicable valuation date by the number of years remaining in the elected distribution period. Except to the extent provided otherwise in this Plan, the Participant electing annual distributions shall have the right to direct changes in the investment of the Account in a Fund or Funds in accordance with Article V until the amount credited to the Account is reduced to zero.

7.1 Each Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries who shall receive the balance of the Participant's Account if the Participant dies prior to the complete distribution of the Participant's Account. Any designation, or change or rescission of a beneficiary designation shall be made by the Participant’s completion, signature and submission to the Committee of the appropriate beneficiary form prescribed by the Committee. A beneficiary form shall take effect as of the date the form is signed provided that the Committee receives it before taking any action or making any payment to another beneficiary named in accordance with this Plan and any procedures implemented by the Committee. If any payment is made or other action is taken before a beneficiary form is received by the Committee, any changes made on a form received thereafter will not be given any effect. If a Participant fails to designate a beneficiary, or if all beneficiaries named by the Participant do not survive the Participant, the Participant’s Account will be paid to the Participant’s estate. Unless clearly specified otherwise in an applicable court order presented to the Committee prior to the Participant’s death, the designation of a Participant’s spouse as a beneficiary shall be considered automatically revoked as to that spouse upon the legal termination of the Participant’s marriage to that spouse.

7.2 Distribution to a Participant’s beneficiary shall be in the form of a single lump-sum payment within 60 days after the Committee makes a final determination as to the beneficiary or beneficiaries entitled to receive such distribution.

    

8.1 The following procedures shall apply with respect to claims for benefits under the Plan.

(a)    Any Participant or Former Participant or beneficiary who believes he or she is entitled to receive a distribution under the Plan which he or she did not receive or that amounts credited to his or her Account are inaccurate, may file a written claim signed by the Participant, beneficiary or authorized representative with the Claims Reviewer, specifying the basis for the claim. The Claims Reviewer shall provide a claimant with written or electronic notification of its determination on the claim within ninety days after such claim was filed; provided, however, if the Claims Reviewer determines special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim, the claimant shall receive within the initial ninety-day period a written notice of the extension for a period of up to ninety days from the end of the initial ninety day period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Plan expects to render the benefit determination.

(b)    If the Claims Reviewer renders an adverse benefit determination under Section 8.1(a), the notification to the claimant shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant:

8.2 The following procedures shall apply with respect to the review on appeal of an adverse determination on a claim for benefits under the Plan.

(a)    Within sixty days after the receipt by the claimant of an adverse benefit determination, the claimant may appeal such denial by filing with the Committee a written request for a review of the claim. If such an appeal is filed within the sixty day period, the Committee, or a duly appointed representative of the Committee, shall conduct a full and fair review of such claim that takes into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the claimant relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination. The claimant shall be entitled to submit written comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim for benefits and shall be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the claimant’s claim for benefits. If

the claimant requests a hearing on the claim and the Committee concludes such a hearing is advisable and schedules such a hearing, the claimant shall have the opportunity to present the claimant’s case in person or by an authorized representative at such hearing.

(b)    The claimant shall be notified of the Committee’s benefit determination on review within sixty days after receipt of the claimant’s request for review, unless the Committee determines that special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the review. If the Committee determines that such an extension is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant within the initial sixty-day period. Any such extension shall not exceed a period of sixty days from the end of the initial period. The extension notice shall indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which the Committee expects to render the benefit determination.

(c)    The Committee shall provide a claimant with written or electronic notification of the Plan’s benefit determination on review. The determination of the Committee shall be final and binding on all interested parties. Any adverse benefit determination on review shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant:

9.1 Each Participant agrees that as a condition of participation in the Plan, the Company may withhold applicable federal, state and local taxes; Social Security taxes and Medicare taxes; from any distribution hereunder to the extent that such taxes are then payable.

9.2 In the event the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall find that a Participant, Former Participant or beneficiary is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, the Committee may direct that any payment due the Participant or the beneficiary be paid to the duly appointed personal representative of the Participant or

beneficiary, and any such payment so made shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Plan and the Company with respect to such Participant or beneficiary.

9.3 The Company intends to continue the Plan indefinitely but reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the Plan from time to time, or to terminate the Plan entirely or to direct the permanent discontinuance or temporary suspension of deferral contributions under the Plan; provided that no such modification, termination, discontinuance or suspension shall reduce the benefits accrued for the benefit of any Participant or beneficiary under the Plan as of the date of such modification, termination, discontinuance or suspension.

9.4 Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of AEP to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, or confer upon a Participant any right to continue in the employ of AEP.

9.5 The Company intends the following with respect to this Plan: (1) Section 451(a) of the Code would apply to the Participant's recognition of gross income as a result of participation herein; (2) the Participants will not recognize gross income as a result of participation in the Plan unless and until and then only to the extent that distributions are received; (3) the Company will not receive a deduction for amount credited to any Account unless and until and then only to the extent that amounts are actually distributed; (4) the provisions of Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA shall not be applicable; and (5) the design and administration of the Plan are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, to the extent such section is effective and applicable to amounts deferred hereunder. However, no Eligible Employee, Participant, Former Participant, beneficiary or any other person shall have any recourse against the Company, AEP, the Committee, the Claims Reviewer or any of their affiliates, employees, agents, successors, assigns or other representatives if any of those conditions are determined not to be satisfied.

9.6 The Plan shall be construed and administered according to the applicable provisions of ERISA and the laws of the State of Ohio.

9.7 Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, alienate or convey in advance of actual receipt, the amounts, if any, payable under this Plan. Such amounts payable, or any part thereof, and all rights to such amounts payable are not assignable and are not transferable. No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure, attachment, garnishment or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person. Additionally, no part of any amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency or be transferable to a spouse as a result of a property settlement or otherwise, except that if necessary to comply with a “qualified domestic relations order,” as defined in ERISA Section 206(d), pursuant to which a court has determined that a spouse or former spouse of a Participant has an interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan, the Committee shall distribute the spouse’s or

former spouse’s interest in the Participant’s benefits under the Plan to such spouse or former spouse in accordance with the Participant’s election under this Plan as to the time and form of payment.
